I don't know how he does it, I don't know how he affords it, but somehow every con I see photos from,  shadee is there, being his lovably hyper self... and being one of the best mascot-style performers I know. Ever inventive, he's one of my favorite 'touchstone' fursuits, the ones who make me smile every time I see them at a con, and the only one I'll run across a room to hug. I don't know why, except that he's just that fun. Stay awesome, Shade. I'm sorry if I glomped you a bit hard that last time.
